fsIn the course Of a conversation between
John SWlutOu and Karl Marx, which took
place shortly before the latter'a death, Swim
ton asked MARI what VIII the future
Bringg Short but meaning was the answer
the great thinker and social philosopher
gave. 1t was but one short word, yet word
expressing very much. The answer Fight
How clearly Marx could look into the fu-
turs. Go tight and struggle. Even if there
are some optimists in our ranks, the MAJOR
ity OF our comrades are convinced that it
vii take hard fighting to gain the great
hnal of which the thinking prOletaire
Of all countries, with un6rlng ferVOr,
are now struggling to reach. The picket
diminishing which has been done during
the last few gears in Europe, as well as in
America, IN the war for Grafton and the IL
stitutOn Of free society, proves there IS no
use IN talking about a peaoeabls solution OF
this question. How brutally5 without con-
5Iderat1On-yes, barbarOuBly, especially here
in America-the money ruling class favor all
those who, with pity for fellow man and the
courage of their convictions, express their
feelings and thoughts in words and writ
ing, was shown by the terrible Chicago trag-
sdy which ended on November IL 1887.
Eight OF the best and nOblest pioneers OF the
WOrkingmen were sacrificed. Five were
killed and three disabled. Verify such brutal
class laws as was shown IN this modern trial
Of heretics here IN Chicago cannot again
be found IN the history Of the world. Yes

we're sacrificed at the stake by q fanatic
mob Infatuated by bigOted priests, or, as sos
called political criminals were hunted down
and murdered by the ruling class OF their
time, so the social herstics of tO-day-all
those who aspire to social equallty-are per
secuted by the rich mob. We must be clear
On this subject. Can religious and political
free thinkers and reTOrmerB express their
opinion without fear of punishment The
prOletaire Of to-day Is without religion. he
pays his priests, supports churches, etc, but
this is only done to throw sand IN the peO-
pies eyes. While they are making life upon
this earth of hell, they can Just as

bsrfere with the privilege and property rights
Of the upper ten thousand "War to the
palaces, peace to the huts,' Lasalle eL-
claimed twenty years ago. Who ever has
heard the people vail In the present distress
and desperation, whose heart is not Withered
in his BOSOM ought to know that We need men

social evil. Whoever Joins must take all the
consequences upon himself and must be
ready to sacrifice everything for the cause,

| Dyer d. Luun, editor Of the Alarm, the pa
/ per formerly edited by the executed anar-
/ chist Parsons, was disposed to laugh at the
| circular, and 6alds ''Iher6 are some good
sound facts in it, but I don't believe that 1t
was issued Dy an anafcn1suc organization
/ We anarchists don't send out circulars; We
